Rory McIlroy’s latest PGA Tour win, the Players Championship, earned him $4.5 million. Couple that with the $3.6 million he earned for winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier this season and two other top-10s and he’s already at $8.7 million in on-course earnings in 2025.
McIlroy is also on the verge of becoming the PGA Tour’s second $100 million man, as he’s now $290,938 away from joining Tiger Woods in that exclusive club.
Should McIlroy finish top 10 or so in either of the upcoming Texas events (he’s indicated that he’ll play one of the two), that would likely be enough to send him over the $100 million threshold heading into the 2025 Masters, the lone major he has yet to capture.
Rory McIlroy plays a shot on the 18th hole during the playoff in the final round of the 2025 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
Officially, McIlroy is at $99,709,062 in career earnings. In 281 starts, he’s averaging $382,027 per outing. Elevated purses in recent years at the PGA Tour’s key events has helped boost his bank account as the $8.7 millon earned so far in 2025 is nearly nine percent of his career earnings total.
McIlroy has banked another $33 million in bonus money for winning the 2022 Tour Championship ($18 million) and the 2019 Tour Championship ($15 million) but that bonus money, since 2019, is not considered part of a golfer’s official earnings.
His Players win was his 28th all-time on the PGA Tour and puts him alongside Paul Runyan and Leo Diegel. A 29th win will tie him with Gene Littler, Lee Trevino and Harry Cooper, who currently holds the mark for most PGA Tour wins by a European golfer.
